I use it with a Williams Firesight up front, see the Peep and Firesight link in the FAQ and Help sticky. The factory front sight will vary with year of production, they aren't all the same.

I have one on my 223 youth model

I had to bring the rear sight way down but it does work good

Put one on my 30-30 Handi but havent tried it yet.
